6. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic
in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille" graphic or
"Base Grille" section.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the
grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front
surface area of the condenser.
Replace the base grille when finished.
7. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
The interior and dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be
changed.
If the dispenser lights do not appear to be working as
described in "Water and Ice Dispensers" (in the User
Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide) or if the
interior lights do not illuminate when either door is opened,
call for assistance or service. See either the front cover or
the Warranty for contact information.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold
and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen
for 2 to 4 days.
If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or
can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially
filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer
full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it
may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be
affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations
If You Choose to Leave Refrigerator On While You Are Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker and is
connected to the household water supply, turn off the water
supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the
water supply is not turned off.

3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.
NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm
to OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF.
4. Empty the ice bin.
If You Choose to Turn Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
day ahead of time.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff
arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the
OFF setting.
3. Depending on the model, turn the Refrigerator Control to
OFF or turn cooling off. See "Using the Controls" in the User
Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.
4. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to
prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor
and mold from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
day ahead of time.
Disconnect the water line from the back of the
refrigerator.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff
arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the
OFF setting.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen
food in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Depending on the model, turn the Refrigerator Control to
OFF or turn cooling off. See "Using the Controls" in the User
Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.
5. Unplug refrigerator.
6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape
them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator
so it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they
don't scrape the floor. See "Adjust the Doors" or "Door
Removal, Leveling and Alignment."
9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back
of the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer
to the Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also,
if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
